Easy Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts
- Yield: 4 pop tarts
Ingredients
- 1 box refrigerated pie crust (14.1 oz with 2 pie crusts)
- 6 teaspoons strawberry jam
- 1 cup store bought vanilla frosting
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
- Roll out pie crusts and cut the rounded edges with a pizza cutter to create a large rectangle, then cut in the center each way to get 4 equal size pieces from each crust. After cutting both crusts, you should have 8 pieces.
- Add a small dollop of strawberry jam (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) in the center of 4 of the bottom crusts. Don't overfill.
- Top filling with remaining piece of cut crust. Trim edges if needed so it's even then seal and crimp edges with a back of a fork. Poke a few holes in the center of crust as well.
- Place 4 pies on baking sheet. Bake on the center rack for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cool, add 1 cup frosting to a shallow microwave safe dish and microwave for just about 20-30 seconds until frosting will drizzle off a spoon easily and has the consistency of a glaze. Let cool slightly if needed.
- Gently dip front part of cooled pie into the glaze and place on a cooling rack. Add a piece of wax paper underneath for any drippings. Top with sprinkles. Let frosting set.
Notes
If desired, you can take the cut pie scraps, roll in a ball and roll out again to be able to make 1 more pie, or just cut up and place a on baking sheet. Sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar and make pie chips!
